Default Sweet corn grown in lawn

So, I have grown sweet corn seedlings and planted them into the lawn.



Anyone have any comments or advice?




I thought sweet corn was one of those plants that don't transplant
well as seedlings, but if you've done it before, I guess it will be OK.
Corn also requires a lot of water while growing and that will
accelerate lawn growth. How will you keep the lawn grass from
choking out the plants?

The corn should soon rise above the grass so there won't be much sun
competion but you would expect some root competion as corn is also shallow
rooted.
